Thanks RapidRobert. What did distract me was a bent rod! I just replaced it and am getting back to the carb as soon as these storms blow past.

I would definitely get that bung welded The A/F meter takes a lot of guesswork out of it also means I pull the plugs about 1/10 the time during my checks.

Now that the #3 intake valve can open fully again, I expect to see different A/F numbers.

I'll be back in a couple of days. We have some bad storms sweeping through the south right now.
